I did a yearly review (of sorts) in 2011 and 2013. I’ve never been one for grand new year resolutions, but I do enjoy taking some time to reflect on events and growth at the end of the year. 2014 has certainly been an interesting year. A lot of things fell into place. A lot […]

Okay. I LOVE food. But…I’m going to be the first one to admit it right now – I’m a tiny bit over food right now – I mean. It was JUST Thanksgiving. Instead, I thought I’d show you how to dye yarn with Kool-Aid. < WHAAT?! Yes..It is SO easy! Plus, it’s December – which […]

Did you guys know that I sell crafty things on an Etsy Shop? < Don’t feel bad if you didn’t. I haven’t been adding new stock for a while. Over Christmas my stock turned over four times in two weeks and I was a wee bit overwhelmed. I stocked everything back up after Christmas and then stopped […]

(Dear Alison Cosker – I pre-apologize for all of my spelling and grammatical errors. Please start a list of them and I will correct them in the morning) I have had ‘write a blog update’ on my to-do list for about a month now. And by ‘about a month’ I mean literally a month, because […]

The world around here has continued to spin, not always perfectly straight, but lets just say we are still going around the sun! The wedding planning is going excellent. Nathan and I have been attending marriage counseling, and were ‘approved’ to be married officially this afternoon! May 19th, 2012 it is! 🙂 In the meantime, […]

In February of this year, on a total whim, I began knitting. I was months away from graduation, and going crazy. I needed a simple, productive escape. And so began my obsession. From February until May I knitted everything I could get my hands on. I give it, and Nathan, the majority of the credit for getting […]
